A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF COMMERCE CITY AND THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CDOT) REGARDING FUNDING E. 64TH AVENUE CORRIDOR STUDY
Body
Summary & Background
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement by and between the City and CDOT regarding funding for the E. 64th Avenue Corridor Study.
Multimodal improvements and connections along E. 64th Avenue City have been identified by the City Council previously through the Walk-Bike-Fit plan, which was approved in 2012.
The City applied for, and was awarded a grant through Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) funding for a study of the E. 64th Avenue corridor between Highway 2 and Quebec Parkway (see Project Map). The study will advance a complete streets vision for E. 64th Avenue with recommended multimodal improvements. The study will initiate public engagement efforts and will evaluate a range of improvements, including multiuse trails, bike lanes, intersection safety improvements, and roadway cross section reconfigurations to improve safety along the corridor by reducing speeds and accommodating multimodal travel. The study will be used to develop Capital Investment Plan (CIP) projects for future grant and other funding opportunities.
